Aren't knots free?

Termination plates retain more strength out of your rope they say. How much you ask? Well, we couldn't find that anywhere so we tested it. Turns out it's 80% of "full strength" instead of the 70% we get in knots. What would you use these for? Thank you Mark Hanna for donating these plates for science.
